Bin Weevils Bling Collector Tin Review

We were delighted to receive a Bin Weevils Bling Collector Tin to review recently.What? You don't know what one of those is? Well let me enlighten you:

Ta-dah!!

If you look further down, you can see what was inside this shiny tin. Eight super special figures, which includes a 'blinged' Tink and Clott and six crystallized Bin Bot characters. Plus 6 clear Bin Bot plinths and a sheet of glitter stickers.Still none the wiser?! Well Bin Weevils are a great online game, a bit like (she whispers, arch enemies, don't say I mentioned it) Moshi Monsters. But different of course. It's a 3D online virtual world, where children adopt a Bin Weevil which they can then decorate, play games with, build a nest for and so on. It's free up to a certain point - like with Moshi, you can buy monthly membership to enable more features. Tamsin had previously enjoyed playing on the computer game, so she was delighted to receive this tin of 'real' (instead of 'virtual'!) play pieces. For some reason, she particularly liked the fact that the figures seem to go a little bit 'gooey' when dipped in water!There are other playsets available which would extend play - this tin retails for around £9.99 and would make a great gift for any fan.

Disclosure: We were sent the above toy for the purpose of this review, but have
not received payment. All the views expressed here are our own.

What is Autism?

'Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects the way a person communicates and relates to people around them. People with autism have difficulties with everyday social interaction'.What is PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance)?

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is one of several Autistic Spectrum Conditions (also known as ASD, Autistic Spectrum Disorder). The central difficulty for people with PDA is their avoidance of the everyday demands made by other people, due to their high anxiety levels when they feel that they are not in control.

Children may sometimes be described as having 'challenging' or 'oppositional' behaviour. Parents describe life as 'walking on eggshells' and their child as 'Jekyll and Hyde'.
